Wikipedia’s otapedic tendencies have again been attracting attention, this time with a national comparison of the most viewed Wikipedia pages revealing the most viewed page on the Japanese edition in 2012 was a list of porn stars, followed by AKB48 and a long list of anime, as compared to the English version’s fascination with Facebook and the Chinese edition’s love of Japanese porn.

The english list looks more like lots of people have wikipedia set as their search engine in their web browser or something similarly ridiculous – the browser may even be pre-caching the content so the numbers aren’t real eyeball views. I mean really, people reading about facebook more than actually using it? Same for google or for wiki itself?

Also – yuke, Momoiro Clover Z! So much more entertaining than generic AKB 😀

yes they are. nowadays that the AKB phenomena is slowly fading away, Momokuro makes as much ads as them. they even are being invited to play at big music festivals, like Summersonic. an idol group playing there is really a feat.
